On June 16th, rapper Kanye West released the music video for his song "Welcome to the Heartbreak" (shown below), which featured many datamoshed video artifacts. On February 24th, 2009, YouTuber datamosher uploaded a datamosh instructional video (shown below, left).

On August 2nd, 2007, YouTuber Michael Crowe uploaded a video titled "Takeshi Murata," which featured a montage of datamoshed videos (shown below). In 2006, a technique created by artists Betrand Planes and Christian Jacquemin transcodes one lossy video format into another was demonstrated with the modified DivX video codec DivXPrime. The software encoder for AV1 is AFAIK still terribly slow.Īs I have finally upgraded my hardware, some progress related to AV1 hw decoding and sw encoding can be expected medium term.According to the tech blog Bit_Synthesis published a post titled "Datamoshing – the Beauty of Glitch," the practice of datamoshing had been used by digital artists since at least 2005. However, I don't remember any changes related to AV1 handling since the last release (which is very old now), so I wouldn't expect much difference in this regard.Īs hardware with AV1 decoding capabilities slowly spreads, AV1 becomes more and more viable, but it is a poor choice when it has to be decoded in software. The general rule is always to use the latest nightly whenever possible as long as there hasn't been an explicit warning pinned in the forum.

Saving in copy mode in MKV should be fine, but need to have a look at sample(s) first.ħ. If selection end is not on a keyframe, you cannot delete the selection when in copy mode and expect to get anything useful as the result, period.Ħ. Technically, a video with a single keyframe at the start may be fully valid (but unseekable, of course), impossible to tell without having looked at a sample first.Ģ. In case of MKV with a H.264 video track, Avidemux decodes slice headers to verify whether a frame is a keyframe.

Please provide a sample which allows to reproduce the issue with keyframe-based navigation via WeTransfer, Mega, Dropbox or Google Drive.ġ.
